The firemen and the policemen always draw a crowd, as does Paul Arellano, the very entertaining professional photographer. The U.S. Forest Service and the Colorado State Forest Service were both represented, for those with a taste for the outdoors.

Otero County administration was represented by Commissioner Keith Goodwin, County Administrator Jean Hinkle and intern Tobias Koecher. Director Rick Ritter and Patient Navigator Brian Burke represented the Otero and Crowley County Health Department. Nursing and health were well represented, as were 60 other career and business professionals from throughout the state. Over 750 high school students participated in the event.
